“They have a lot of two-way guys, and we are a platoon, so we wanted to push the pace, push the tempo early and our kids really responded well,” said Greenwood coach Mike Campbell. “Defensively, we got some early three-and-outs. Offensively, we were able to execute the game plan the way we wanted to and that really got the ball rolling for us.”

Greenwood scored touchdowns on four of its first seven possessions in the first half and six of its 13 total possessions. The Hornets (4-6) managed only three red zone trips, two coming in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand.

Woodmen quarterback Seth Gallman accounted for three touchdowns — two via the air. The signal-caller capped the game with 117 passing yards on 7-of-11 attempts.

“Our defense tackled really well, flew around and really put the game away for us a bit in the second quarter,” Campbell said. “Early in the season, we had a couple games where we were up two or three touchdowns early and came out in the second half pretty flat and had not executed very well. So we had talked about us maturing and taking the next step and finishing in the second half.”

Running backs Nick Willham and Brandon Rosado made sure of it. Each tacked on rushing touchdowns of 5 and 2 yards, respectively, in the third quarter that created a seven-score cushion for the Woodmen.

Willham finished with a pair of touchdowns and 92 yards rushing.

Beech Grove quarterback Jordan Reel scored the Hornets’ lone touchdown, scurrying for a 9-yard score down the left sideline with about 2 minutes left in the matchup.
